Guntur Plans Integrated Corridor Project

17 Apr 2026 CW Team

One of the central proposals involves the redevelopment of PVK Naidu Market as a ground plus four-storey structure with a double cellar, with the ground and first floors dedicated to a vegetable market and the remaining three storeys earmarked for a commercial complex. The plan is intended to modernise trading facilities and optimise land use in the market area while providing structured commercial space above. Officials described the design as part of a broader effort to combine market redevelopment with improved circulation and urban amenities.

In the first phase the corporation plans to improve 10 junctions and six major entry routes into the city to streamline traffic and reduce congestion. The civic body also proposes upgrades to major outfall drains, including Ambedkar Vagu and Peela Vagu, as part of a comprehensive drain modernisation programme. Lake restoration measures will run alongside drainage improvements to enhance stormwater management and ecological resilience.

Officials said the project will proceed in phases with further consultations to refine scope, cost estimates and implementation timelines, and public representatives will be involved in the process. The proposals aim to integrate road expansion, market redevelopment and waterbody restoration to support sustained urban growth and improved public services. Authorities will now move to detailed planning and stakeholder engagement before tendering and execution.
